Supported projects

Summary :

This application aims to support the organization of the 9^th edition of the « Climate and Impacts » conference, which, over the years, has become a key and structuring event for French scientific communities in general, and for those based in Ile-de-France region, working on climate archives, environmental dynamics, and society-environment interactions, at the core of the DIM PAMIR scientific priorities. The conference provides a forum fostering exchanges between geosciences, climate sciences, ecology and social sciences and humanities around climate change, its drivers, its impacts on ecosystems and its repercussions for past and present human societies. Topics to be addressed include: (i) climate variability recorded in natural climate archives at different time scales, (ii) the response dynamics of continental and marine ecosystems to climatic and anthropogenic forcings, as well as the associated feedbacks, (iii) the predictability of future climates, (iv) the relationships between past human societies and their environment, (v) the perspective of the social, economic and health sciences on current climate change, (vi) solutions for the future. In 2024, the 8^th edition brought together ~490 participants, both onsite and online, around roughly 252 communications, confirming the growing attractiveness and national reach of the conference. The 9^th edition of ‘Climate and Impacts’ will be held from 24 to 26 November 2026 at the École Nationale Supérieure on the Université Paris Saclay campus. Its organization, based on a widely disseminated and inclusive call for sessions, a multidisciplinary scientific committee, a program structured around thematic sessions defined and adjusted according to the submitted contributions, as well as a call for abstracts kept open over an extended period, promotes the emergence of cross-disciplinary themes and the development of inter-laboratory collaborations. The conference free registration policy constitutes a key lever for the inclusion of PhD students, postdoctoral and early-career researches. The event contributes to the structuring and visibility of the Francilien scientific network supported by DIM PAMIR, as well as to its outreach beyond the regional scope.
